Paper Bird
That's How It Works I
i know how this works, first i put on my dress and when the coffee's ready i'm going downstairs with a smile, it's no big deal, really. i'm a good liar most of the time,i'm good at watching my back and saying everything's fine. i'm a family person, my horoscope says and i'm moody and selfish and every time the phone rings i eitherhope it's you or not for me. i'm not here, really. i'm out fishing, washing my sins away.call me when you get this, by then i won't remember anything i said and i'll imagine how you look like at the other end, how you let your beard grow to shape your jaw, we're our own peace between the wars and what we'd do and how we'd feel fine,quoting adam and eve most of the time. i'm right here in the middle of everything i was,i slip into old habits, sometimes at night i hear the clicking of my claws on the floorbefore my shadow slips out the front door and the sun shines on me, i fit into thesmallest size, all bubbly and shiny and dolled up for paradise.
